Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Chapter 424 Sharing Candy

Josh remembered that when they came back in the afternoon, Lilly and her dad had brought back two dogs, but one of them had died. Apparently, it had been hit by a car.

Lilly originally wanted to bury the dog in the small grove at the back of the garden, but Bettany was concerned that the decomposing body would create a smell. It would never bother her before, but now that they had a delicate little granddaughter in the house, Bettany started to worry about everything.

She was also concerned that Lilly would smell the odor whenever she played around the area, or if Bellflower would get infected with some kind of virus when it went out to dig holes. Even Polly could be rather mischievous at times. What if it picked up some fur from the body and carried some kind of disease that could infect Lilly?

Hugh said that they didn’t have to be so particular before. Bettany argued that it was simply because they never had children around the house.

Josh was lost for words. Were the rest of them not children?

To which his grandmother responded, “You and Drake are boys, so you’re built from sturdier stuff. Even though Hannah is a girl, she’s also a tough one.”

“Lilly is different. She’s so delicate and fragile. What if she gets sick…” Ultimately, Josh and his siblings, agreed with their grandmother’s perspective.

As such, Blake took the dog out to be cremated. He would return once it was done. ?

“Lilly, didn’t you say you wanted to bury the dog in the grove at the back? Should I help you dig?” Josh offered.

Lilly was focused on watching videos and brushed him off, saying, “It’s alright, my Daddy is going to do it. He can dig super fast. He’s amazing.”

Josh was a little unhappy. Wasn’t he amazing then?

“No, I have to be the one to dig the hole!” Josh said and ran out.

Lilly was confused, “Huh?”

She put away the phone and followed him outside.

Hannah’s room door was half open. Suddenly, she poked her head out, “What?! You guys are digging at hole? I’ll do it!”

Before Drake could notice, she was already sprinting down the stairs!

Drake shouted, “Stop right there!”

But Hannah ran even faster.

Blake entered the house carrying an urn and was about to call for Lilly when he saw the kids running down the stairs.

He quickly opened his arms, stopping Josh and Hannah in their tracks as they crashed into each arm.

He lifted them up and was about to place them down.

Suddenly, Lilly came running at the last moment, causing Blake to let go of Josh and Hannah… just so he could catch Lilly.

Josh and Hannah grimaced in pain as they fell to the ground.

“Uncle, give me the urn!” Josh grabbed the urn and ran off.

Hannah followed behind, “Margaret! Where’s the hoe and the shovel? Give them to me!”
